We paid 50 cents for our likeness without a case and it is not worth sending home hardly but you can see how we look here of all the boys Ike is the last one. I had all I could do to keep him straight. I mus put in a few words Layfette wants to know if edward is thinking of the synable that they had last winter. Isaac and I went into the pattent office building it is a grand sight to see we saw the uniform that Washington wore at the close of the War and and every thing down to the old fasion plow. We went the whole length of Penn. Aveneu and then we went up to the capitol where the Congress is in session
